Enrich your stay by knowing the local customs. Alenquer has been well known for its location on a hillside, from the top of a hill towards the valley. This is where the philosopher Damião de Goes was born and was the favourite place of the poet Camões. It also played a crucial role in history and its rich heritage proves it: pre-historical sites, castles, convents, churches, shrines, cottages and manor houses. For eight centuries, Alenquer has led a vast county – the third-largest in the Lisbon district – limited by the Montejunto foothill areas to the north and the Alentejo woodlands to the south. The landscape is special, showing a transition between the hilly fields of Estremadura and the Alentejo plains, where the vineyards are predominant as well as the ancestral basis of the economy.
